Комментарии:Also read *g(h)ān, MC ɣân (FQ 胡安) id. During E.Zhou used also for *gār(s) 'to support' (probably related to 乾 *kār-s q.v.). During Late Zhou applied also to a homonymous *g(h)ār(s) 'white (of a horse)'. Still later (since Han) the character used to transcribe other homonymous words: *g(h)ār(s) 'wing' (probably a semantic development of the basic meaning) and *g(h)ār(s) 'writing brush; calligraphy'.
